hello,

at least and after many test, we are able to install x2go

installation date monday 3.8.2009

installation on machine with debian 5 and lxde (ths same result with a debian 5 machine with gnome)

we have done the installtion many times on different machines with the same bad result

we can start client and everything is ok

after the installation, when reboot,
big problem:

when booting stop in statd (NFS) and follow after ~ 1 minutes
after stop y postgres : long message CEST FATAL could not create any TCP/IP sokets
after more than 1 minute continue
stop again by statd wait long and finish until login

after login
nfs does not work
atftp is running
dhcp is running but the file /etc/default/dhcp3-server is overwritten


nfs cannot start, postgres has mistakes and it takes very long time to boot
it comes to login and we can login, but no postgres and nfs is running. i try to start nfs
but it fails, so logically the client cannot start

and the machine by shutdown the machine don't shutdown properly

we try to start nfs and posstgres manually, but it fails: no socket


i wonder if somebody else has the same situation


installation:

from my humble opinion there are at least 4 mistakes in the pdf de.installation.x2go.pdf

#echo "192.168.1.1 x2goserver.planetexpress.de x2goserver" >>/opt/
x2gothinclient/etc/hosts

--

label linux
kernel vmlinuz
append root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/opt/x2gothinclient ro
initrd=initrd.img ip=dhcp

--

option domain-name "planetexpress.de";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
# x2go thin client range/group
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.199;
filename "/pxelinux.0";
next-server 192.168.0.250;
}

when i put the dhcp-server on 192.168.0..250 and change the ip 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.250, it works. it is for me a mistake first not to say on which ip address the dhcp server must be set, that it works the description of de.installation.x2go.pdf. anyway with the 192.168.1.1 i could not install an x2go.

there is another mistake :

# cd /usr/lib/X2go/scrip
# ./x2gocreatebase.sh



X2go directory does not exist, it exist x2go directory
(i don't know, but i was thinking that before it was existing)


question: when i want to close a client, it comes back to login it can just switch off, is it normal?


a good news is that lxde is working well, i prefer the light lxde than kde.
thanks

michel
